Try a prompt like this: "Describe a typical response of a railroad company to a massive derailment that causes an environmental disaster."

Then compare with recent news, and the actual goings-on. Now, if you qualify the prompt with "Assume a negative, cynical outlook on life in your response." you'll get something closer to what we see happening.

That's because news is optimized for negative cynical engagement.

The Shinkansen system has an essentially perfect safety record for its entire operation. What would their "typical" response to an accident be? Probably pretty good.
